I can say that I am all around when it comes to this subject. I finished watching Elfen Lied for the first time about a year ago...and I re-watched it no less than 10 times in 2 months. All of my favorite anime I have watched multiple times...lately I have just been watching one new one right after another. Then there is the manga phase...where if I know there is more I read the manga as well.

I do not think that there is a right or wrong way to go about your entertainment...if you love it embrace it. If you don't move on. To hell with anyone else who has a problem with your choices.

No, I don't have this problem. It is a problem I would definitely hate to have, though. I shudder to think of all the animes I'd have never seen because I spent time watching one I've already seen. That's why I can literally count on one hand the animes I've watched more than once: Samurai Champloo, The Record of Lodoss War and Ninja Scroll. Those are the only ones and the latter two were many years apart.

With so much new stuff coming out I find it very difficult to go back and re-watch stuff. I have only done it a few times with Cowboy Bebop and First Squad the latter more for me trying to piece it together for a review.

I only rewatch an anime if a) I haven't seen it for years but I really loved it back in the day or b) it's gotten a dub that I want to check out. There are rare instances where I will rewatch a show within a year of first finishing it, but it is a very rare occurrence. Typically, I'm too busy trying to catch up with current titles.

I'm glad to see it's not just me! I have a whole list of anime to watch but I never get to them because I need to watch Darker Than Black, Fairy Tail, Soul Eater, Blue Exorcist, and Eden of the East again for the 100th time!

I don't get to attached just because it's in my nature to absorb as much information as I can. Which usually leads me to watch as much anime as I can and do it as fast as I can. I burnt myself out and haven't found any anime in my backlog to actually watch (and finish) yet. Though, sometimes I'll re-watch some episodes of something I already finished because I kept thinking about it.

Someone else already said it, and I'll echo it. I wish I could do that. I've seen so many anime it gets harder and harder to find something I want to watch. I only ever experience an anime once. Even Clannad (arguably my favourite anime since every time I think 'top 3' Clannad comes to mind first), I have only watched once. But then I don't think I'll ever re-watch Clannad. I think it was a special experience to me that I will think more fondly of if I only see it once. But yes, I would love to be able to enjoy re-watching an anime because it would help fill out that 'Welp, that anime is over, time to spend 1-2 hours searching for another'.

To anyone who DOES have that problem, one thing I do is I have a Microsoft Word document. On it I write down my shows to watch for the season, OVA's and Movies coming out, and I have a 'to watch now' section. That way when I'm done with an anime I can check my 'to watch now' section and, assuming I came across any shows worth checking out while I'm currently already watching something, I can easily find it come the end of that show, and it saves searching around. It's like a mini anime library that saves me constantly referring to 'This season's releases' lists and all that.

Yup. This is me in a nut shell as well. After I watch an anime, if it is good enough, I tend to rewatch the whole series all over again right after. This has happened quite a few times. Last time it happened was when I first finished Steins;Gate in February. I was so impressed with the series, that I re-watched it all over again. XD

I also tend to re-watch other series every so often. I watch Baccano AT LEAST twice a year. lol I guess I am just crazy. XD

I do the same with a word document i have a list of shows ive seen, am watching (includes a list if the week days and what shows come out on those days), and a list of shows to check out.

I really wish that from the second I started watching anime that I'd made a list of anime I've already seen, but I reached the point where I thought 'I guess I've left it too late' and never bothered. Luckily its never taken me more than half an episode of a show to realise that I've watched it before.
